Infantino faces turbulence ahead of 2026

Gianni Infantino, FIFA president, is going through a delicate period following the failure of a private financing project intended for the 2026 World Cup. This investment was meant to support the organization of the tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Although Infantino is seeking to return to normal operations, political and institutional backlash is complicating his path back to favor. The governing body must now consider alternative solutions to ensure the logistical success of the World Cup.
